10 CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, APRIL 21, 2016 ANZACDAY2016 Gallipoli role defining for New Zealand ADVERTISING FEATURE Anzac Day in New Zealand is held on April 25 each year to commemorate New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women. The day has similar importance in Australia, New Zealand’s partner in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli. Plans for the formation of the original corps began in November, 1914, while the first contingent of Australian and New Zealand troops were still in convoy bound for, as they thought, Europe. However, following the experiences of the Canadian Expeditionary Force encamped on Salisbury Plain, it was decided not to subject the Australians and New Zealanders to the English winter and so they were diverted to Egypt for training before moving on to the Western Front in France. It was originally intended to name the corps the Australasian Army Corps, this title being used in the unit diary, following the common practice of the time, which often saw New Zealanders and Australians compete together as Australasia in sporting events. However, protests from New Zealand led to the name Australian and New Zealand Army Corps being adopted. The administration clerks found the title too cumbersome so quickly adopted the abbreviation A. & N.Z.A.C. or simply ANZAC. Shortly afterwards, it was officially adopted as the code name for the corps but it did not enter common usage among the troops until after the Gallipoli landings. The Anzac ceremony itself has been adapted over the years to cater for the changing times, but has also steadily acquired extra layers of symbolism and meaning since the early 1900s. The date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers – the Anzacs – on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. Their aim was to capture the Dardanelles, the gateway to the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. At the end of the campaign, Gallipoli was still held by its Turkish defenders. Thousands lost their lives in the Gallipoli campaign: 87,000 Turks, It may have led to a military defeat, but for many New Zealanders then and since, the Gallipoli landings meant the beginning of something else. beginning of something else – a feeling that New Zealand had a role as a distinct nation, even as it fought on the other side of the world in the name of the British Empire. Anzac Day was first marked in Gravestones at Beach Cemetery near Anzac Cove commemorate Allied soldiers who died during the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. 44,000 men from France and the British Empire, including 8500 Australians. Among the dead were 2721 New Zealanders, almost one in four of those who served on Gallipoli. It may have led to a military defeat, but for many New Zealanders then and since, the Gallipoli landings meant the 1916. The day has gone through many changes since then. The ceremonies that are held at war memorials up and down New Zealand, or in places overseas where New Zealanders gather, remain rich in tradition and ritual befitting a military funeral. stuff.co.nz Proudly Sponsored by House of Hearing 7190879AB Proudly Sponsored by Ray White Next Step Proudly Sponsored by Tomkies Construction Proudly Sponsored by Proudly Sponsored by Stella Hire Ltd Proudly Sponsored by Granny Delicious Ray White Burnside Proudly Sponsored by Mitre 10 Mega Rangiora Proudly Sponsored by Peter Ray Homes Proudly Sponsored by Chisnallwood Intermediate School Proudly Sponsored by First National Real Estate Proudly Sponsored by Farringdon, Rolleston Proudly Sponsored by Craig Brown Construction
